Please accept our sincere condolences for the loss of your loved one. Jesus promises that we will be able to see our loved ones again at John 5:28,29 which talks about the resurrection hope. What a wonderful hope that will be! May this bible thought bring you comfort at this difficult time
Miss you dad. Love you with all my heart. Thank you for all the fun times. Thank you for teaching me about gardening. I had so much fun. You taught me how to ride a bike. I remember I was so scared and before I know it you let go and I was riding my bike. You would get so mad at me for not putting my bike back in the shed. Miss you so much 😢.
